Abstract
The family Rhabdoviridae comprises viruses with negative-sense RNA genomes. This family has four subfamilies, with the Betarhabdovirinae encompassing all plant-associated rhabdoviruses. Here, we report the creation of a new genus, Trirhavirus, within the subfamily Betarhabdovirinae to classify recently described trisegmented rhabdovirids. The trisegmented genome is a previously unreported and distinctive feature of these viruses. The genus Trirhavirus currently includes five species. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that these viruses constitute a well-supported clade and cluster with other plant-associated rhabdoviruses. The creation of the genus Trirhavirus was recently ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).
期刊介绍：
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
